Hi Logan, we made it to Thursday!
In today’s fun-for-grown-ups edition: Great Salt Lake asset deal, an immersive house party, and free zoo day + plenty of reasons to put on real pants this week.
Today’s sponsor, Spot Pet Insurance, is something I wish I had before a late-night emergency vet visit left me with a $10,000 credit card bill. It’s cheaper than Netflix… and means you never have to choose between your pet and your savings. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up – get started here.

📰 In the news
State gains conservation control: Utah won the bid to acquire US Magnesium’s Great Salt Lake assets, including 4,500 acres and up to 144,790 acre-feet of water rights, strengthening lake protection in northern Utah — see what the state acquired.
Priorities guiding Logan’s future: Logan City Council unanimously voted on Feb. 17 to adopt a new mission statement. It will be incorporated into the Logan 2024 General Plan, shaping development from 2025 to 2045 — learn more about city priorities.
Strengthen local emergency response: Northern Utah’s Red Cross is seeking disaster volunteers after 154 house fires in 2025 and more than 700 people helped, with training in emotional support, medication replacement, and housing connections — see how to get involved.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🐾 One pet emergency can cost $10,000+
Together with our sponsor Spot Pet Insurance
Nothing prepares you for a late-night emergency at the vet. I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache.
From the initial exam fee just to be seen, to x-rays, surgery, medication, and follow-up visits… the bill racks up fast (to say the least). And at that moment? You’re not thinking about your savings, you’re just saying yes to whatever keeps them thriving.
As soon as we got home, I dug around online and ultimately signed up for Spot.
It’s super affordable and reimburses up to 90% on qualified vet bills. It was too late for me, but it’s not too late for you. Sign up today.

🫶 We got your back
Burger night upgrade: Logan’s favorite, Morty’s Cafe, serves juicy, creative stacks, from the Iconic to the double-stacked Mortician, plus dangerously snackable scone fries with honey butter. Need a quick win this week? Your stomach already knows where to go.
Roller vibes, big sound: At Cache Valley Fun Park’s Roller Jungle, nostalgic-meets-neon skating rules: smooth floor, thumping playlists, and room to wobble-turn into real turns. You’ll remember why laps with friends feel better than laps around your to-do list.
Modern art, right here: Logan’s unassuming hub for inspiration, Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art rotates smart exhibitions, hosts hands-on Community Art Days, and highlights modern and contemporary work rooted in the American West. Ideal for a quick solo wander or a low-pressure friend date when someone insists they’re not artsy.
Access cash without selling your home: A reverse mortgage can help anyone over 62 cover everyday expenses, support healthcare needs, fund home improvements, or even reduce pressure on 401(k) withdrawals – all while staying in your home. Longbridge offers a free calculator to estimate how much flexibility your home could provide, with no commitment required.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
